The baby name Pritom is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PREE-tom (IPA: /ˈpriːtəm/).

Pritom is Bengali in Origin.

Pritom is a South Asian given name most common in Bengali and Assamese usage. It descends from Sanskrit priti (affection, joy) and the participle prita/pritama (beloved), so it carries meanings such as "beloved," "dear one," and "filled with love." The form with -om reflects regional pronunciation and orthography, paralleling the pan-Indic Pritam/Preetam. In daily use it often signals warmth, amiability, and a loving disposition.

Documented in Bengal and Assam through the modern era, the name resonates with devotional and romantic literature where the beloved is a recurring theme. Variants and cognates include Pritam, Preetam, Pritem; feminine or related forms are Pritama and Priti/Preeti. Short forms such as Prit or Prito appear in colloquial address. Predominantly masculine, Pritom remains familiar in Bangladesh, India’s Northeast, and the global South Asian diaspora.
